Dur ing a forest fire that threatened to sweep tlie houses of Hie farmers and which meant only ruination to whole families, every man and boy for miles around gathered to fight the fire. The oldest girl in the family threw a saddle on her horse and for one whole day rode at break-neck speed from her home to the fire-fighters and then biu-k again to the home, where her mother had fresh coffee and sandwiches made to refresli tlie thirsty and exhausted men.- To one line of the men the heat was so great tluat she had to wear a wet sack pinned about her head. The trusty little pony seemed to know that it was a matter of life and deatli and needed no whip or spur and fairly skimmed over tlie ground with his lovely burden. Finally tlie men gained tlie day, tlie tire fiend had been turned back and tlie awful crackling roar sub sided and the flames died away into tlie dull smothering heat witii only an occasional tree still blazing in tlie re gion left desolate, then the weary girl admitted she was tired as she dropped from her saddle and was taken into Tier home.” “ My fattier died when I was a very little girl, leaving mother nothing to support us children. Everyone of the children who were big enough to work had to do something to help, for you know there were seven children in our household and we were like so many ste|>s, theyouugest one not able to walk and the oldest barely fifteen.

When tlie amount reached ten dollars, mother went witii me and I placed it in the bank and proudly carried home my own little bank book. My mother drilled ‘save,.save, save,’ into us until ‘save’ became a by-word.

Golf Balls, and Cables. Tin’use of gutta-|H*rchufor submarine cables anti golf taills makes constant drains on the supply of Hits material, and sulmtitutes are lieing constantly sought after. In constructing a cable, the gutta-jiercha is employed to insu late the conducting wire from tlie ex terior metal sheath, and though lately rubber lias been employed for this pur- pose on some shorter lines, yet fqr long ocean lines the gutta jiereha is consid ered essential. Recently the German telegraph department has made a thor ough test of some cables into whoseeon- struction an artificial gutta-jiercba en ters. This material is the invention of Adolf Gentzsch of Vienna, and is a mixture of India-rubber and a palm wax whose melting point is tlie same as that of tbe rubber. The electrical properties of theconipound are equal to those of gutta-percha, and tlie specifi cations of tlie contract with "the Ger man Government were more than sat isfied in actual tests. The cost of the artificial gutta-percha cables is about 3» per cent less than the ordinary cable. “I remember my first business ven ture.
